Banana Brawl! is essentially a regular Casual match, with one addition: whenever a minion dies, a random Banana card is generated for its owner. There are four different Banana cards, each with its own effects, although they are all 1 cost spells. Players do battle using custom decks, of any class.

The challenge of this Brawl lies in the creation of custom decks designed to make the most of the Banana cards.

The player is given a random Banana card when the minion itself is removed from play - that is, strictly before all consequences of death (Deathrattles, on-Death triggers and Secrets) are resolved. This can be significant if you have minions like Loot Hoarder and Cult Master in play - if your hand is nearly full, you will get Bananas instead of the drawn cards.[1]

Bananas, together with other cheap spells and minions can spell the doom of a player controlling Fel Reaver.

Due to many of its class-specific cards having great synergy with Bananas, namely Mana Wyrm, Sorcerer's Apprentice and Flamewaker, Mage is a popular and extremely viable choice in Banana Brawl!. Mirror Image allows the player to generate Bananas on the death of the Mirror Image minions, and can be buffed with Bananas themselves to form a wall against enemies. A possible but unlikely infinite loop involves the use of Violet Teacher to spawn minions, which can be killed by 0-cost Rotten Bananas due to Sorcerer's Apprentice's effect, generating potentially infinite Bananas that can trigger Flamewaker and Mana Wyrm's effects.

Secrets can also be used to great effect for classes that have them. A Mage can take advantage of Mirror Entity to generate extra minions, and Spellbender to draw the effects of the opponent's Bananas, spawning a free buffed minion or diverting a Rotten or Deviant Banana from its target. Paladins can use Avenge to buff an existing minion in addition to receiving a Banana, while Redemption can spawn another free minion that may be easily killed for another Banana.

Cards that take advantage of your opponent having many Bananas in their hand can be used, such as Goblin Sapper and Clockwork Giant. Loatheb can be used to prevent your opponent from easily playing their Bananas. Kezan Mystic is a good inclusion due to the number of Mages and Paladins that run Secrets in their decks, letting you steal the benefits of Secrets they play.
